What is herpes?

Herpes is a recurrent viral infection of the skin or mucous membranes characterized by the appearance of small fever blisters (also called cold sores) on a reddened base, frequently occurring about the mouth, lips, genitals, and even eyes. It occurs following minor infections, trauma, and stress or sun exposure and has an incubation period of 2 to 12 days with an average of 7 days.
